The museum's exhibition space can represent a welcoming space, presenting a possibility for the visually impaired visitor to explore all of their senses and experience the exhibition in their particular way. However, it can also represent an excluding space, presenting a series of barriers and obstacles that prevent the visitor from enjoying the exhibition. The research presented in this article aimed to examine how visually impaired visitors interact with the museum's exhibition space and how the environment affects the visitor's experience. The study sought to investigate the current state of accessibility in museums - particularly for people with visual impairments - explore topics like environment and exhibition design, the relationship between museum environment and spatial orientation, and how these issues affect the visitor's experience. This article aims to contribute to the development of future studies and projects on accessibility that may represent better opportunities for social inclusion, the democratization of the exhibition space, and the promotion of equitable rights for people with disabilities.
